topic How to transform the x,y coordinates from decimal degrees to meters? in Coordinate Reference Systems Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/how-to-transform-the-x-y-coordinates-from-decimal/m-p/770805#M239 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi! I have a list of points in a excel file with the x,y coordinates in the Decimal Degree format. I would like to import these points in a project in ArcGIS where everything is projected in ED_1950_UTM_Zone_32N (Projected Coordinate System). I can I import by Conversion Tools/Excel/Excel to table, then I can visualize data in: Add Data/Add XY Data, but, of course I cannot put as Coordinate System of the input data ED_1950_UTM_Zone_32N, as, the original excel file contains coordinates in decimal degrees, while in my project in arcgis I have meters as units. How can I solve it? Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 17:47:26 GMT GB 2017-11-30T17:47:26Z How to transform the x,y coordinates from decimal degrees to meters? https://community.esri.com/t5/coordinate-reference-systems-questions/how-to-transform-the-x-y-coordinates-from-decimal/m-p/770805#M239 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi!
